HEADLINES
Israel says 75% of Iranian launchers destroyed
US hits Bushehr as IRGC HQ destroyed
Beirut strikes resume as Israel widens campaign
The time is now 5:02 PM in New York, I'm Noa Levi and this is the latest Israel Today: Ongoing War Report.
In Direct Israel-Iran Clashes, the IDF says it has destroyed about 75% of Iran's ballistic missile launchers, up from 65% just two days earlier, as officials caution that fully stopping Iranian missile fire remains uncertain even as the aim is to reduce casualties. Saturday's spike in alerts sent millions into shelters, but launches reportedly fell to well under 15, possibly around 10, after days when fire rose and then tapered; there were no massive hits reported that day. The defense update notes more than 200 ballistic missiles have been fired at Israel since the war began, with early counts around 80 on the first day and higher totals in the days since. In a broader campaign, Israeli air power has dropped about 6,500 bombs on Iran, greatly surpassing earlier benchmarks, with the United States striking more than 3,000 targets and the IDF saying it destroyed the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps Quds Force headquarters, a blow to the group long seen as a regional destabilizer. Separately, Israeli sources say significant oil resources in the Tehran region tied to Iran's military-industrial complex have been attacked, with reports of as many as 30 sites under assault, marking a new front after prior strikes on air defenses, missile sites, leadership hubs, and regime repression forces. Oil facilities in and around Tehran are described as under sustained Israeli attack this evening.
In US Military Role, heavy airstrikes this evening on Bushehr on the central Iran coast are reported, presumably carried out by US forces, and the city is home to one of Iran's primary nuclear facilities.
In the Conflict with Iran and its Regional Proxies, Beirut attacks have resumed as the IDF began a new wave of strikes in Lebanon, with operations continuing in and around Beirut as part of a broader campaign in the region. The Israeli military has described the renewed strikes in Lebanon as a response to ongoing threats and developments in the area.
